"...New Jersey Alt-Metallers, Voodoo Terror Tribe, have been on the grind and in your face for a while now. With Symptoms of Sin getting rave reviews from the media, these unsung, and unsigned, heroes are carving out their own niche in this fickle bitch of a rock scene, and not doing too bad of a job.

* 2 Special New York / New Jersey shows announced...!
"We're psyched to announce 2 more shows, even though we're in the middle of working on new material in the studio, which will be ready for the first half of 2011: Well, the first one is an early Halloween show in NJ on Oct 24th which will start in the afternoon with other great bands and VTT will go on late afternoon. So come celebrate Halloween with VTT where there will be a lot of other great things and surprises...
And then we're going to up state NY (Syracuse) on Nov 6th to play the great Power & Fury Festival with legendary THE RODS headlining together with other great acts, which will be also a tribute to the one and only Ronnie James Dio and raising money for his Stand Up & Shout Cancer Fund...
So don't miss out on these 2 great shows of VTT, where we will be also playing some new songs presenting our new sound for the first time!
* "Symptoms of Sin" was reviewed by MUSIC STREET JOURNAL.
"...This band has produced a solid disc here full of good tunes. But, while most of the music they do is somewhat derivative, they do it extremely well. That makes it stand up nicely...
The Victim: This is basically a smart and refined cut that combines alternative rock and nu-metal in a good way. It’s nothing especially unique or original, but it’s very potent.
Light Divided: There are no huge changes here, but this is a bit heavier. It’s still a strong, albeit rather generic, modern hard rock meets metal track. It’s very well done, though.
You're My Punishment: Now, this is better. It’s got a real moody, progressive metal texture to it. There are still elements of that modern alternative hard rock meets nu-metal sound, but this is definitely meatier than the two tracks that opened the disc.
Wake of the White Devil: Here we get a really heavy track. It feels a little evil and there are some cool, off-kilter guitar solos. It’s got an extreme metal vibe, but it’s cool.
Deleted Scenes: This is another of the highlights. It starts off fairly extreme, but not as far into that zone as the previous piece. They give us a cool, balladic prog metal segment mid-track that’s one of the most interesting segments of the disc. There’s a smoking hot guitar solo later in the piece..."

"...Symptoms of Sin is the group's third effort, and presents an often haunting, yet catchy musical production that really jumps around through the styles, showcasing some rather haunting, yet catchy Hard Rock songs that border on Gothic Rock, as well as heavily Thrash inspired tracks that, sometimes, have a slight Progressive touch to them, but often not much. Either way, the music is good...It's clear that, for an unsigned group, the band has plenty of talent and can compose an addictive album that has enough of a bite to attract fans of harder, edgier rock, as well as metal, but still have a somewhat lighter, radio ready feel to it at times. The production on the release is well done, giving the listener an album that finds everything mixed nicely together, including the more industrial elements that appear in "Never Died Before"... Aside that, this release is a very well rounded effort. As stated, much of the album seems to be geared towards a Hard Rock sound, but things does change up a bit around "Never Died Before". While the first three songs have a strictly Hard Rock/Gothic Rock feel to them, the music branches off out of nowhere into a heavily Thrash oriented sound with some Industrial/Techno aspects, and even features a slight breakdown in the mix. There's honestly nothing bad about Symptoms of Sin other then the sudden musical shift that occurs between "You're My Punishment" and "Never Died Before". The first three songs, as stated, seem a little more radio friendly, but are still fantastic Rock-based tracks that show a bit of a Thrash influence, though not much. "You're My Punishment". Outside that, there's two bonus recordings at the end of the recording. The first is "World of Lies (Live)", which shows an impressive live performance full of energy and very progressional... In the long run, Symptoms of Sin is a rather enjoyable album. The band manages to blend a good number of styles together and present us with a recording that shows they deserve the spotlight, both in the studio, as well as on the stage..."

"...With a name like Voodoo Terror Tribe, what's your first best guess of the style of music they play? My first guess was death metal or something akin to hardcore or extreme metal (especially from the album cover). Well, I was wrong, and more than a little off. Symptoms of Sin is more near modern hard rock with a heavy edge. The vocals are rough, but neither this, nor the music, surrenders to the current hardcore/death metal trends. Actually, many songs here have a truly accessible, nearly radio-friendly, appeal including Never Died Before, Light Divided, and the excellent The Victim. VTT can definitely hit the fringes of modern metal with Wake of the White Devil and Deleted Scenes. Yet, the latter has enough melodic sensibility, and a darn fine guitar performance, to remove the edge and remain accessible...Nevertheless, Voodoo Terror Tribe is definitely on the right path on Symptoms of Sin with their harder edge melodic modern rock. A bit more focus and development adds promise to their future endeavors. Check them out..." Click here to read the rest...!

—by Eric Farwell, August 24, 2010 Heavy metal band Voodoo Terror Tribe has just released their new album, Symptoms of Sin, and is playing a handful of shows in support of it. Will there be an army of zombies raised from the dead and attracted to the shows like that one Dethklok episode? Who knows but you can find out if you see them play Dingbatz on Aug. 27 for the Ronnie James Dio Fundraiser. 21+. $10.00. 11:05 p.m.
5 Questions With... is a chance to get to know an up and coming band you may not be familiar with. Formed in 2005 by Emir Erkal on guitars and long time friend T-Bone on drums, the duo soon brought in Primer on bass and vocalist Gil Pz. Voodoo Terror Tribe hail from the wastelands of the Garden State armed with a heavy-melodic, radio-friendly sound with provoking lyrics and a confident melancholy collection of art with genuine working-class tenacity. Erkal introduces us to his band.
Describe the sound of your latest CD Symptom Of Sin. It's a furiously precise album with Billy Graziadei (Biohazard/Suicide City) at the producer's reins. It's really a mixture of different styles. We don't limit ourselves when we write our music. However, it mostly comes out as something dark and aggressive, but emotional and melodic with some melancholy as well. We poured everything that we had and everything that we have become into this record. It was meticulous, grueling, stressful and insightful, but we found a new sound. It's been quite a long road, and now we wanna prove to the fans that it's all been worth it.Talk about the Dio tribute show you're doing later this month. I think this is the least we can do to remember and honor a true legend of heavy metal. It's a tribute and a benefit show. We will be rocking for him at Ding Batz (Clifton, NJ) on August 27th and the proceeds will go to the Stand Up and Shout Ronnie James Dio Cancer Fund...How did you get started in music? I think I started around the age of 12-13 by playing the violin as my first instrument with my dad's push in Istanbul, Turkey. Then around the age of 15-16, I heard WASP and Manowar for the first time which got me into rock and metal and actually changed my life and everything and made me who I am today. It's funny, but I didn't change a lot since then. I formed some bands in Istanbul and did 3 metal albums with my latest band and toured Turkey around 1994-998 and then came to the USA to achieve my goals in music at a more professional level. After playing with some bands for few years, I met my drummer T-Bone and formed VTT in 2005.Who are some of your other influences? My other inspiring and influential bands are Metallica, Kreator, Iron Maiden, Machine Head, Biohazard, Rammstein, The Cure and some classical music and opera...Anything else you'd like to mention or promote?

“A three-way analogy between western culture as it is viewed in the middle east, the idea of what George Bush might have been thinking in 2003, and the extraordinary enjoyment of addiction to crystal meth. 75% of the world talks shit about the USA, but they do so while wearing American clothes, watching American TV shows (idol), etc. etc....

"...VTT SYMPTOMS OF SIN SELF-RELEASED VTT display a versatile hard rock style that spans a few decades on their nine-track affair. Pumping out modern metal melodies a la Trivium with an electronic pulse not unlike that of Mudvayne or Static X (“Never Died Before”) while retaining the classic rage of acts like WASP (“You’re My Punishment”), this troupe’s cavalcade of strong riffs is sprinkled with a bevy of intriguing acoustic flourishes (“Looking For Serenity”, “Deleted Scenes”) providing the album a proper foundation that supports its constant switches in mood and atmosphere. Developing a style where Nu metal immediacy collides with metalcore’s rhythmic chug yet doesn’t forget to consult the vintage blueprint from where both were spawned, VTT’s gritty sensibilities and memorable hooks hit hard and are bound to leave an impression on anyone with an ear for the sound of today’s aggression. –Mike SOS..."

"...Symptoms of Sin is the newest release from New Jersey Metal outfit VTT. The band comes out of the box hard and heavy on the opening track, “The Victim” and the mauling does not let up until the very last tune, “World of Lies.” Packaged between these two songs are six other unbelievably, straight ahead metal tunes, plus a radio edit of “Wake of the White Devil”) that are fast, heavy and designed for one thing; getting the listeners up and snapping their necks for the duration...
Stylistically I do not necessarily feel that VTT have created anything fresh and innovative with this disc, but there are some songs that stand out as being quite good, solid metal tunes. The opener, the previously mentioned tune “The Victim,” is one of these songs. It is also the song I like the most on the disc, mainly because it is super aggressive and in your face. I also really dig “Wake of the White Devil” because there is a fairly catchy chorus coupled with the aggressiveness that makes it a more enjoyable listen.
From a production standpoint, at times, I feel the overall production gets a bit muddy and cluttered and some of the instrumentation and or vocals are hard to make out but I still dig what these guys are doing and I give them props for what I believe is overall a successful attempt. Symptom of Sin is a fairly decent effort and an album that I think will garner the band a bit of attention in the metal world..." Click here to read the rest...!

Plans are also underway for a tour of greater America later this year, most likely this summer; details will be available on that trek shortly.
In the meantime VTT will continue playing in and around the Northeastern US, continuing to support its third album, ‘Symptoms Of Sin,’ an eight-track effort of driven alt-metal produced by friend and Biohazard/Suicide City vocalist-guitarist Billy Graziadei at Underground Sound Studios (Sick Of It All, Life Of Agony, Pantera).

Lead by guitarist Emir Erkal, VTT have been slugging it out on the East Coast club circuit for the past few years, and things are finally beginning to pay off for them.
The best thing to happen to the band was getting Biohazard and Suicide City guitarist Billy Graziadei to produce their new album, 'Symptoms of Sin.' The hardcore hero gelled well with the group, getting the best performances VTT have ever laid down on tape. Another blessing has been new vocalist Gil PZ.

"...New Jersey act VTT unleash that heavy metal we all love and grew up to know so well. VTT’s latest, Symptoms Of Sin, has this classic rock/metal vibe to it while kicking a ton of ass at the same time! With loads of heavy distortion, melodic heavy metal, and some acoustic breaks making up the majority, VTT is a heavy hitter and one to be reckoned with. The beauty of Symptoms Of Sin is that VTT really makes the most out of their melodies, and is able to create an album full of quality songs, not worrying about being the fastest, br00talest, or most technical band out there. Whether hitting heavy with the metal assaults or unleashing an alternative metal side, VTT’s song structure is solid.
Diving into Symptoms Of Sin, there are plenty of singles to rock your socks off such as “You’re My Punishment”, and “Never Died Before”, which give a raw yet accessible approach. Make sure you take note of Gil PZ’s vocal delivery, because this guy can growl, howl, and everything in between, putting that extra exclamation mark in their music! VTT also knows their traditional thrash pretty well, where they let that shine in “Wake Of The White Devil”. Whatever method of attack they take, even with the hearty doses of alternative metal, VTT seems to use it to their advantage well.
Symptoms Of Sin unleashes a ton of soul, rock and roll, and most importantly, the classic metal that we all seem to take for granite these days. Take a second, pause, and check back into metal’s roots, and Symptoms Of Sin in a way acts like a reminder to the glory days, with a classic sort of evil in the mix. Fans of loud heavy metal need to check out VTT now..."

"...New Jersey go getters VTT, formed within the time that was 2005 and brought with them something that no other band could possible dish out which was music. Wait what? All bands can do that can they not? Well some can and some cannot it all depends on how much impact that particular band can portray.
When comes to the essence that is VTT this being their third accomplishment to date, “Symptoms of Sin”, who knows what should be expected of their musical obsession. Well for one, you get presented with a total of eight tracks with a bonus feature oh my! What? Could that possibly be? It’s the band’s official video of the track entitled “The Victim”.
So you pretty much get entangled with a handful of goodies when you come across this so-called “Symptoms of Sin”. “The Victim”, also just so happens to be the opening tune that introduces you to what this band can exactly do. The guitars and vocal chords are in a fair balanced grip that they balance out the whole layout of the song that plays off to being this heavy duty song of such progression the music backing it all up is obscene.
“You’re My Punishment”, “Never Died Before”, and “Wake of the White Devil” all go hand in hand with one another. One source being that all of the music portrayed within these selections showcases itself to being nothing more than again some heavy duty but more raw material matter that overrides the whole album’s display purposes. Plain and simple the music is an aggression of brutality that contains this rock n’ roll vibration with heavy metal influence wrapped around giving it that much needed breath of fresh air.
VTT is rest assured that there isn’t anything that these rock n’ rollers cannot do. Just give them the time and chance to sock it to you..."

Voodoo Terror Tribe: Alternative Metal at its Finest
By: Cailan Bennett
Voodoo Terror Tribe is an Alternative Metal Band from New Jersey U.S.A. The band was founded by original members Emir Erkal (guitar) and T-Bone (drums). Later, they would be joined by Harry Dullys who would become the new vocalist and Primer who is the bass player. In the current lineup, Gil PZ has since taken over vocal duties for the band…
…So if you like metal that is unique, with great melodies, kick ass tight, sharp, ripping subterranean riffs, high pitched guitar licks, marching-off-to-war styled percussion, insane drums, powerful and solid melodic vocals darkened by brutal screams, bass attacks then you need to give this band a listen. You will not be disappointed…
…If after reading this review you are still not convinced, then come out to The Lucky Dog Music Hall in Worcester, Massachusetts U.S.A. on February 27, 2009 and see for yourself, as they will be performing at the 2nd "JAGFest" pre-party, it will undoubtedly be a great time…

What's up everyone?
It's been a while since our last update, but as you all know, we've been in search for a new singer for probably more than 6 months which have been the most frustrating period for the band. Finally it's over! We're so psyched to share the great news with you that the search and the waiting is over and we're excited to announce our new singer Gil PZ, who's originally from Sacramento, CA with a lot of experiences as both vocalist and instrumentalist in bands like PHONETICA and DEVILTRY from Texas. We have already started working on both old and new songs with him and yes, we did take advantage of this searching period and wrote almost 20 new songs which we will go thru each one of them with our new member to make the best out of them. We can't wait to present the new, maybe a little different, but better-and-stronger-for-sure VOODOO TERROR TRIBE to you all…! More updates, show dates, new photos and new tunes coming soon…!
It's good to be back and can't wait to kick some ass again soon!

Check out the "Alone In Pain" Review by Rocket of The Metal Den (TMD):
"...On their debut full length effort, New Jersey's VOODOO TERROR TRIBE pulls out all the stops for the heavy music listener with the soulfully wicked opening first set of metal crushers: "Prelude To Hate", "Under The Knife" and "World Of Lies". All the while drenched in the talented vocals of Harry Dullys, VTT's ALONE IN PAIN effectively blends the heart-pounding punk-influenced bass play from Primer with chaotic, riff-churning guitar fury from Emir Erkal and seasoned, no-nonesense drumming from T-Bone, heard at their best on the highlight tracks "Looking For Serenity" and "Redrum". "When I close my eyes, I dream of my own demise"... "Evil hands on me, dreams I don't wanna see"... I'm afraid of sleeping"... are haunting words tied to the vicious musical display from an explosive progressive thrash metal band that ranges from sounding like old school Biohazard to the rocking "more commercial" sounds of Sevendust, most importantly demonstrating that they can write some tried-and-true heavy metal arrangements that still have radio appeal..."

Check out the "Alone In Pain" Review by John Lewins of Hardrockhouse.com:
"...To a man VTT show their commitment and skill in their individual areas and this all comes through in a set of proper songs that have powerful riffs and hook laden choruses. The drums pound and drive where they need to, vocals are clear and powerful, guitar and bass provide weight and texture as appropriate and the whole lot is arranged in such a way to give the songs the required amount of dynamic interest..."

V.T.T. finally finished recording their new album which is entitled as "Alone in Pain and they're soon unleashing another assault on your senses with this brand new album that kicks more ass than a little bit. Produced by The Tribe itself, mixed by Tom DeKorte and mastered by John Seymour (U2, Santana) "Alone in Pain" pushes VTT's groundbreaking sound farther than before. This album includes 10 powerful thrash/alternative/metal tracks with dark, catchy melodies, quality vocals and a ton of moxie. Finding something unique in this watered down metal world is not easy, but this is certainly a great example of a unique compilation with kick ass tight, sharp, ripping subterranean riffs, high pitched guitar licks, marching-off-to-war styled percussion, insane drums, powerful and solid melodic vocals darkened by brutal screams, bass attacks and unusual pretty acoustic fireside notes…This album is heavy and dirty, deep and nasty, dark and aggressive, tribal and painful but modern metal that will kick you all in the teeth and hit you all in the heads and stick with you all day long…! Here is the track listing from this upcoming album:
ALONE IN PAIN
1. PRELUDE TO HATE
2. UNDER THE KNIFE
3. WORLD OF LIES
4. LOOKING FOR SERENITY
5. GET DOWN
6. BEYOND REDEMPTION
7. MANDALA
8. REDRUM
9. MY DISTURBED GIRLFRIEND
10. DELETED SCENES
This is a torturous adventure into the unknown which you will be incredibly impressed with and it's all for your pleasure…
Album art and the new song from the upcoming album will be revealed very soon.
